However, battery-SOCs are usually generalized without any consideration about cell disparities. In this presentation, we propose to define a more relevant battery-SOC by analyzing the already existing studies about SOC estimation for single cell (cell-SOC) and by developing a battery-SOC which takes cell disparities into account. A focus is also done to explore how to link uncertainties of cells estimations and accuracy of the final battery-SOC in order to give reliable information to the user about the charge amount stored in the battery. The algorithm is then implemented for numeric analysis and comparisons.","PeriodicalId":169529,"journal":{"name":"2015 Tenth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116220068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulations and tests have been performed in different condition in order to realize a typical cycle for a telehandler. The comparison of experimental and simulated results shows a very good agreement in different operation conditions.

One of the methods of reduction of this drawback is increasing stator phase number. The paper presents the model of Multi-Phase DFIG with stator connected rectifier and control algorithm.

In its armature the height of permanent magnets (PMs) is not the same as that of iron cores, which is different with conventional switched-flux motor (SFM). Firstly, a MTSFLM with the same tooth-slot parameters as the corresponding rotatory motor is showed, pointing out that its coil areas is much smaller than that of the rotatory form. The MTSFLM with 2.5 times high armature is discussed then to enlarger slot areas. Secondly, it is pointed out that MTSFLM with higher armature may lead to serious saturation if the height of iron core and the height of PMs are still kept the same as conventional design. A MTSFLM with shorter PMs, than the height of corresponding iron cores, in armature is proposed. And the height optimization of the PMs is then investigated to produce optimum output characteristics. Thirdly, the unique impacts of yoke height and gap distance on optimum PMs height value are discussed. Finally, a prototype with optimized structure parameters is presented. The measured back-EMF, detent force data are compared with those from FEM, and the result curves validated aforesaid analyses.","PeriodicalId":169529,"journal":{"name":"2015 Tenth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128072994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is initiated by the prediction of the spatial repartition of the no-load air gap flux density. Then, a formulation of the cogging force, based on the predicted spatial repartition of the no-load air gap flux density, is developed, considering (i) the case of an “infinite” length machine and (ii) the case of a finite length one. A case study, corresponding to an initial concept, is treated with a focus on the prediction of its spatial repartition of the no-load air gap flux density and its cogging force. With this done, the study is extended to a first cogging force reduction procedure considering the case of an “infinite” length machine. It consists in the investigation of the effects of two influent sizing parameters on the cogging force, that enables the identification of a pre-optimized concept. The cogging force of this latter is then predicted in the case of a finite length machine. The study is achieved by a second cogging force reduction procedure, consisting in a quasi-cancellation of the end effect. The prediction of the cogging force of the optimized T-LSM with quasi-Halbach magnetized PMs has clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed dual sizing-based approach.","PeriodicalId":169529,"journal":{"name":"2015 Tenth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"374 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134292032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper the performance of several different topologies of high-speed PM machines required for use in a micro-gas turbine application are evaluated. Different winding topologies, retaining sleeve materials and magnetization patterns are considered, where the main criterion for the machine performance are eddy current losses in the rotor.

In the improved analytical method, the active axial permeance factor was introduced for considering the leakage distributed in the active end region. Then three dimensional (3-D) time harmonic finite element analysis (FEA) was performed on a model with all end structures. The magnetic field distribution in the end region was explored and the distribution of the end-winding leakage inductances of the inner plane end windings and outer plane end windings was analyzed. The results of the analysis show that the end-winding leakage inductance decreases when the excitation frequency increases and the changes are nonlinear.
